00:00And with us now is the player of the game, Harvey Pagsanhan.
00:0313 points, 5 rebounds.
00:05Harvey, you set the tone for your opponent.
00:09From the start, you were very aggressive.
00:11What was the mindset going into this game,
00:14knowing that it was a virtual battle for the number 4 spot?
00:17Coach said that if we really want to get into the Final 4,
00:21we need to beat Letran, who is our opponent in this position.
00:24And then, the preparation for this game,
00:27my mindset was to stop the scorers on the other team.
00:30And then, as a leader, I really need to start with the aggressiveness.
00:34I really need to start.
00:36Okay, this is my question.
00:37This is not a normal question.
00:39But what do you think,
00:41whenever you attack and you go up,
00:43that's where you see it.
00:44What is your mindset there?
00:46Maybe, I always go hard.
00:48And I really like it when there's contact in the air.
00:51I can balance my shots more.
00:54Very nice, very good.
00:56We have a question about balance later on.
00:59But before that, I want to ask this.
01:04As we see some of your highlights here.
01:06You played for Coach Gerson Cabintas in high school.
01:10But you played in a different college.
01:13But the connection has always been there.
01:15The friendship never wavered.
01:17When you found out that Coach Gerson was going to be the coach of EAC,
01:21you said you want to play for him again.
01:24Now that you are playing for him again,
01:26how much does this mean to you and to him
01:29that you have a chance to make history,
01:31to lead EAC to the Final Four for the very first time?
01:56Doesn't matter if you've been together for a long time
01:59or you've been together for a long time.
02:00The relationship you have there will never fade.
02:03It's very sweet.
02:04And of course, you have a chance to make it to the Final Four.
02:07This vacation that you have now,
02:09Anton and I were talking earlier
02:11that it's nice to feel like you've won.
02:13And the break is this long.
02:15It's painful for those who will lose
02:17because they will feel it for a long time.
02:19What will be your preparation, personally,
02:22for this break?
02:23So, coming to your game on November 6th.
02:28Maybe we'll just stay focused on our next game.
02:31And maybe we won't let ourselves down
02:33because it doesn't matter if we lose all our wins
02:35if we lose our next games.
02:37So, we really need to stay focused.
02:39Alright, so we have a very important question right now, Prince and I,
02:43because we have been wondering and talking about this
02:47for the entire season.
02:48You probably have the best posture
02:51among all the players here at NCAA.
02:54Your back is really straight back.
02:56When you drive, it's straight back.
02:58How did you maintain this perfect posture?
03:01Maybe it's because he's an inborn,
03:02because my dad's posture was like that.
03:05So, maybe I used to be skinny,
03:07but when I got older,
03:09my body got a bit wider.
03:11But my body is still like that.
03:13That's why you can see his core when he comes up.
03:15He doesn't just turn,
03:16no matter what he does, he's still straight.
03:19I've tried that before,
03:20but before I got up, I got shot.
03:23That's the discarded one.
03:25That's the discarded one.
03:26Alright, Harvey, can you greet everyone who supports you?
03:29First of all, I'd like to greet the EAC community
03:33who always supports us.
03:34Jumbo Plastic, Boss Jimmy, Coach Steve,
03:37my family in the province,
03:38my mom, my dad, my nephews, my brother,
03:41my girlfriend who always watches, Shara.
03:43I'd also like to greet Pong Antonio, his son, his family,
03:46and Melon of La Pranca.
03:49There you go.
03:50Player of the game, Harvey Pagsanhan.
03:52Enjoy the break, Harvey,
03:54and we'll see you on November 6th.
03:55Thank you, thank you, thank you.
03:56Congratulations, my friend.
